Gallows to Graveyard Tour

Mercat Tours Ghost Tours, Edinburgh - Gallows to Graveyard Tour - from VisitScotland.com

Details

 

The Old Town has seen a long history of torture, execution and death, and this tour dramatically brings the past alive with gruesome, ghastly and grisly tales. Witches, warlocks, traitors, thieves and murderers have come to a bloody end on the Royal Mile. Who were they and what had they done to deserve their vile demise? Your cloaked guide will have the answers and will take you on a tour of discovery down the Royal Mile telling stories of dark deeds and horrific crimes.

Our guides are expert historians trained in the art of storytelling, and they will lead you on a tour that is not for the faint of heart.
